Following New York the team that wears the pinstripes losing 3-2 to Detriot in MLB Little League Classic Sunday New York the team that wears the pinstripes manager Aaron Boone had this to say!

Look, anytime you lose, it sucks,”It’s hard traveling home now and you’re right there, ready to grab two out of three on a weekend where you didn’t score a lot of runs. That’s part of the game, part of the grind; that’s the tough part of it. But there’s also memories of the experience and getting to be here. You try to keep that perspective, too.”

What is Tommy John Surgery?

UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.
